It's now the third week for the new reboot of THE ODD COUPLE, and after surfing around the web a little, it seems that the ratings have been looking pretty solid.

However, it totally slips Oscar's mind so he pulls together a last minute surprise party. While this plot line has been used in past shows including THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, FRAISER, and I'm sure a few others, it should be a pretty funny episode. Plus, Dwight Howard (#12 for the Rockets) guest stars, which is pretty exciting considering I'm from Houston! (more...)

Born in Cameroon, a country often said to be a miniature version of Africa, Christian P.

He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA, where he recently graduated from film school and can now write to his heart's content.
